Lemonade, Potato Salad, Pasta Salad.

But, I thought I would dress up my breakfast room hutch with
a few patriotic touches.
Remember the Easter Egg Garland I made with
I decided to “borrow” a few more, only in
Red, White and Blue.
I used white stick-on letters from Michael’s, and jute twine to
attach them all together in a garland.

Oh Barb, this is absolutely adorable. I love your hutch painted black and your decor is fabulous. The star shapes are just perfect for the banner. Very clever. Love the vignettes too. Thanks so much for linking to TTT. Hugs, Marty

I’m feeling very patriotic this year and I never decorate for the 4th of July but this year I want to show some good old USA spirit and put out some red, white and blue. I’ve pinned some things on my Pinterest board but who knows if I’ll get around to making them?!
Love what you’ve done to your hutch and what a great idea for using paint chips….I’ll have to keep that in mind.
xoxo,
